...when my Amazon Echo went down for a week (router swap, I'm lazy sometimes) I felt relieved and at peace. I thought about it and decided her voice lacks some human quality that grates on the mind over time. And the fact that commands have to be repeated or she doesn't understand is frustrating. Since the things asked of her are not really vital, why put up with that? I use her much less now and it is better for that. I suggest it would be the same with any computer generated voice.
..speculatively try to swap the front and rear tires of his car for a better ride while driving down the highway to his mom's house. Who tries to "play with" new software using critical files in the middle of a project? And NO backups. Anywhere. duh
The usefulness of these forks may simply be that they allow an algorithm to determine at the moment of your transfer what coin has the greatest transaction speed at that moment for that transaction, so there will develop an abstract "Bitcoin of Bitcoins," environment. If you fold the other major coins in to such a "Coin of Coins" environment, money transfer goes to a truly mind-boggling level of abstraction. It would be like having one blank credit card that represents the best credit card deal at the moment for that particular purchase.
Sooner or later they must understand that the Universe is not schizophrenic. It doesn't have multiple voices in it's head. We are the Universe asking itself what it is. As for every intelligent species destroying itself. Really? 100% with no possibility of exception? No. They don't exist because there is only one path to our level of intelligence: US. No intelligent squirrels, fish, moose, dinosaurs etc. The universe is not a children's cartoon or a science fiction movie.
It scares the hell out of people. It should not be used as a convenient handle by the programming community. Isn't there a more professional handle that could be used?
"Computers have no testosterone." - Cute, but it is a hyperliberal, feminist, sexist statement that has nothing to do with computers and programs. Its easy disrespect for male attributes is just another example of female privilege that has even filtered into the speech and writing of some hyperliberal males.
"Computers have no testosterone." - This is really saying something they don't even know exists: Computers have no motivation array. They "want" nothing. Humans design them, build them, task them, turn them on to accomplish the task (satisfy the human motivation array), and turn them off when they have accomplished the task (have satisfied their human motivation array). They certainly don't create behavior-spaces that would lead to "world domination." They don't have what I call "Mentis," the combination of a motivation array and its tool, intelligence. That is what really evolved.
It seems that less enriched fuel would require a larger, heavier engine. They may actually build one, but up front after thinking it out, or eventually after seeing the practical problems, they will discard the LEU engine concept.
Law enforcement and government will find a way to turn it on "for the public good." Sometimes you just have to stubbornly say no in order to protect rights, freedom, and privacy. Rights cost, not just on the battlefields of our nation's wars, but in our daily lives. Sad, but very true.
This is a small illustration of what is happening in all things, not just technology, the continuous, unrelenting, addition of complexity. At some time there must be a "complexity collapse."
In that case, Wells Fargo is a criminal enterprise and should be examined as such by the DOJ. The DOJ should use all pertinent laws to punish those responsible as if Wells Fargo were the Mafia. Fines are no longer enough.
I found this out myself on my computer. I had Windows defender and McCaffrey anti virus software running and this caused programs to crash and my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 graphics card to lock up. I removed the McCaffrey software and everything cleared up. Just running Defender is probably best in Windows I think.
It fascinates me, "quantum weirdness." I think it comes from quantum particles oscillating between a thin space and a thick space form. Thin space being space as we think of it, and thick space being what we call particles. When the thin-space collapses back to particle density it can do so at any point in the thin-space form probabilistically. Does the wave express this oscillation between densities? If the thin space collapses back to particle form on the other side of a barrier we would have "quantum tunneling." It thin space form collapses down to particle form behind where it was before, there would be backward motion.
I'm not qualified to have these thoughts, so be aware of that. Still, it seems simple, and somehow satisfying to contemplate. At least to me. Space as matter, and matter as space. One thing from the big bang. E=Space=MC^2. Energy being a manifestation of a space density change.
The problem with what you say is that we don't know where exactly that 10 percent will come from. But they must come out of the 100 percent. And ten percent of 100 is 10, but ten percent of only 10 is 1. Society passes millions of children through math to get a relatively few scientists and engineers. You need a lot of participants to get the few creatives is what i am saying. I recently read someone wanted to shut down radiology schools because computers are being trained to read images much faster. Fine. Where do the new ideas come from?
What exactly IS "AI?" You have to strictly define it before you can "regulate it." Actually, "AI" isn't "artificial intelligence" at all. It was, and is, a sloppy term for advanced theories and programming techniques to solve problems. You may as well try to regulate clouds. Basically, you would destroy programming. Besides, whatever we (in America) did would not be done elsewhere, for advantage. And other, non-AI, programming of powerful computer systems does damage too. It is very easy to say what Musk is saying, but put a microscope on it and there is really nothing there.
E Proelio Veritas means "from struggle, truth." I created it in the early 90s for a tiny chess club that collapsed and took it for myself to use on the internet. The base of the thought-path was Emmanuel Lasker's dictum that states, "On the chessboard lies and hypocrisy do not survive long." I made it general.
It is just part of the distorted view of life that many people get from tv shows, movies, books, news etc. Ask them about how likely they are to be murdered. Laughable.
Media make money off your fears. Fears they generate.
Hyper-liberalism eventually elevates the individual so much above any sense of group or community obligation or standard that it is toxic to the continuing existence of any democratic state or community. Some may say what is going on in Florida is driven by conservative philosophy. But it is not. You can see democracies dying worldwide. They cannot even replace their own populations now. I've come to believe that hyper-liberalism is a core flaw of democracy and ultimately destroys democratic states. It destroys their ability to define themselves as entities composed of obligated individuals. It's leveling impulse demands lying about reality, and especially lying about the existence and survival utility of the differences between men and women.
They can see the difference between the creation of basic technology and its job creation and advanced technology and its job destruction. But people don't yet seem to understand that the widespread use of AI in an area will lead to stagnation of the subject area. Machines do, but they don't create. They aren't motivated to make things different, to make them better. Mere excellent mediocrity. Human skills and knowledge will be lost. The thread of advance broken.
These machines do not have motivations. As they replace human thinkers, they decrease the number of human thinkers in that particular area of human thought, interrupting the stream of advance in thought in that area. What will happen is that thought in a particular area will freeze at some level. Because machines have no motivation array, they have no creative thought. They advance nothing on their own.
The recent worldwide ransomware attack, which encrypts computer data unless the hackers are paid in Bitcoin is probably the cause of the increase. Demand goes up as institutions and companies, including hospitals, see that there is nothing they can do but buy bitcoins and pay the criminals.
This looks exactly like my n-dimensional "behavior-space" and the motivation vector that must be zeroed by a behavior or behaviors. This is the way to go.

Let's hope there are no "hermit crab" viruses out there that would use the shell for home.

Have they done a study to determine if there has been a balancing increase in sperm production by western women?

You cannot defeat entropy in the long run. All victories are temporary and require effort.

is lower wages and benefits as companies try to make it part of the worker's normal compensation. They are clever that way.
